ST. LOUIS, July 13.-A special from Fort
Worth, Texas, says; There was considerable
of furry in the city at IL o'clock last night.
A rumor became current that bloody fight
had taken place near Little River, south of
Fort Worth, on the Missouri Pacific, be-
tween robbers and guards. Little River is q
watering station and no news can be re-
ceived from there. 1t is certain that officials
Of the road have cause to fear robbery and
secretly put guards on both the north and
south bound night trains, and the trainmen
are also armed. The north bound train
reached here without molestation. 1t is
stated that Trainmaster Ray also accom-

RobbIng the Unfortunate.

HALIFAX, N. s., July 13.-The story Of
the wreck of the steamer Merrimac is one Of
the most remarkable in the history of marine
disasters. The people of the steamer es-
capped terrible fate, after being driven
ashore on a clear and cloudless night, but
their baggage was riled and many valuable
articles stolen while the owners were on
deck seeking to save their lives. The rob-
berries were committed by members Of the
crew when they found there was no imme-
diate danger Of the vessels sinking. The
Grew afterwards got uproariously drunk and
added to the terror and confusion in launch
ing the boats. All the circumstances con-
sidered, it is miraculous that no lives were

KING KALAKANA OVERTHROW.
The Expected Revolution Successfully
Carried out on tha Hawaii IsIanda

The Expected Revolution successGu1Iy
Carried out on the Hawaii Islands.
SAN FRANCISCO, July lathe most ro-
markable revolution in history, in that NOT
a drop of blood was spilled, occurred on tho
Sandwich Islands, June 25 The people Of
the island of Hawaii, aided by the Honolulu
Rides and other hastily formed military
companies, seized the arsenal and govern
ment buildings forced Premier Gibson and
his ministry to resign, and compelled poor
King KAlakana TO submit to the popular
will His acquiescence was given readily
enough, and he selected, from among four
mon designated by the people, William M.
Green to be premier, and to form new
cabinet The revolution had long been
expected, and was due to the hagrant abuses
of the deposed government. Gibson also
expected it, and was preparing for a civil
war, large consignment Of arms addressed
to him having been intercepted by the
revolutionists. The ''rebels' constitute the
best element Of the islands, and the over
throw of the rotton Gibson maladministra-
ton cannot but be Of the greatest ultimate
benefit to the Sandwich Islands. There is
even some hope that a republican form Of
government will result from the uprising.
Everything was quiet at last advices, but

is yet to happen. Ex-Premier Gibson is not
the man to take his downfall so quietly as
the reports thus far received would make it
appear II he is not summarily got out Of
the way he will, without doubt, seek to re-
gain his lost power, and he will not stand
upon the method of his obtaining it, II he
finds it possible to incite resistance to the
new government he will certainly do so, and
then will follow inevitably bloody civil
war. White residents are leaving Honolulu
as fast as possible
1t is conceded here that Claus Spreckles,
the sugar king" was indirectly the cause
OF the revolution, although the Spreckles deny
it, Kalakaua had borrowed $4,000, 900 Of
Spreckles and had recently begun to liqui-
date the loan, thereby lessening Spreckles'
power, and to regain it he caused sedition in
the island, which led to the present up

from beneath his pillow and fired. The sup

arouse his wife, but her accustomed place in

match, he bent over the prostrate form and
tremblingly scanned the features by his

hole piercing her body from back to breast,

cOnsin. and Seventeen Lives Lost.
HURLEY, July 12.-For the second time
within ten days and the fourth time in the
history of this city Of frame dwellings has
it been devastated by fire. Very little Of
the town remains The fire started at
o'clock Saturday evening on the stage Of the
Alcazar theatre, a low variety hole in the
heart of the town. and spread with such
frightful rapidity that $50 houses were in
ashes within an hour, and the fire died out,
having nothing more to destroy. The tele-
graph office was among the first buildings
burned, and no assistance could be asked
The pecuniary loss will aggregate $500, 900.
The insurance Is less than $50, ,0tO. Twelve
persons lost their lives in the Alcazar thea
tire. Nine bodies have been recovered Five
persons lost their lives elsewhere in the city,
making total loss Of seventeen lives. So
far as known the dead are Frank Young,
Sadie McCabe and - Jackson, colored
comedians; Tillie Moore, song and dance
artist; Mable Goodrich and husband; Sadie
Wells, Mrs. Fenton, j. W. Van Quick, Sam
uel Haley, Laurie Brainard and John Jar
riot the stage carpenter, all of the theatre.
The fire was feast for the gamblers and
sneak thieves, who for years have infested
Hurley. Far from working to help the city,
they contributed to the spread of the des-
truction, carrying brands Of fire into build
ings not yet touched, and taking advantage
of the panic to loot at large. Dozens of
these scoundrels were seen in the streets
boldly replacing their worn garments with
suits of clothing snatched from the shelves
of burning tailor shops. They seized bottles
Of liquor from the saloons and drank till
some Of them fell down unconscious in the
midst of the devastation and were burned to
death.
Hurley is in the heart of the Wisconsin
Michigan lumber region, and came into un-
pleasant prominence year ago by reason Of
the notorious dives stocked with young girla
lured from Chicago and Milwaukee.
